Leonardo Ciampa: Shenandoah

Maestro Ciampa composed this arrangement of the beloved American song “Shenandoah” in July, 2009, as an encore for his tour of organ recitals in the Shenandoah Valley. It was first played on 19 July 2009 at St. Paul’s Episcopal Church in Salem, Virginia. This very lush arrangement has the benefit of being playable on most any type of organ.
